Re: Advice please

Yeah, you'll find it. Probably just fell to the bottom of the pan. Even if you flip the engine over and it drops onto the rotating assembly you will still find it easily. There aren't that many places for something that big to hide.

I once took apart and engine and found a small screwdriver laying in the lifter valley!
